Answer 6

B is not the answer.

Although I was just a child, I remember rationing during the war. Meat and coffee were rationed. We couldn't even buy butter so had to use margarine. Gasoline was rationed so we couldn't take many car trips.

Answer 10

The correct answer is C. The US government required rationing of some goods during World War 2 to decrease the chances of supply shortages and to provide supplies for the US military. Rationing was a way to ensure that essential goods, such as food, fuel, and clothing, were distributed fairly and efficiently during a time when resources were limited due to the demands of war. By limiting the amount of goods each person could purchase or consume, the government aimed to conserve resources and prevent hoarding or price gouging. This helped to ensure that there were enough supplies for both civilians and military personnel involved in the war effort.
